I was really keen on the X-box untill I heard about the poor sales, And I love Gran Turismo, so PS-2 was the obviouse choice. So I am now saving for one.

But the final nail for X-box for me was when I talk to the guys at the video store, they have the PS-2 games and have ordered all the Game Cube games, but are staying well away from the X-box, as they have done all the research into what will be succsessful and what won't.

Has anyone played Project Gotham?

Greg. (WTF, Wheres my king Smiley!!)

God sony piss me off, they wrote a similar article in the states about not dropping prices, what did they do the other week...dropped the price. I wish sony would get off their high horses and just do what's right for people. It's just the way sony are though, and people love them for it, flashy colours, cheap quality. Same as bloody Holden and HSV.

IBM was working with Nintendo to create the x-box, which allowed Nintendo to incorporate Copper technology into their system.

The components in the Cube are as small as 1 600th the width of a human hair, this alone is one great advantage over both other machines.

Also the some 1.5 gb cartridge for games is twice the data of a cd, which is cool.

I still prefer the X-Box though, better games, a GPU, and it looks cool, even though I would probably end up customising the case for the hell of it.

Who cares which one is more powerful. What matters is which ones has better games, and the gameplay.

We're all car fanatics here, and you cannot go past GT3!!!

However, GP4 is coming out on the xbox, but i'll save that one for the PC.

As far as I'm concerned, I payed some damn good money for a damn good PC, and I don't give a **** what anyone tells me, any game on the Xbox will come out at some stage on the PC. I mean the Xbox is just a lightly modified PC.

If you read up about it, MS like most companies is losing money on the hardware to make money on the software. Therefore it stands to reason that any game that can *very* easily and quickly converted to PC, will also be sold on the PC therefore increasing their market to sell to.

/Start of rant

However I can't get GT3 on PC, Tekken Tag, Dead or Alive 2 (Although you never know, DoA3 might be on PC) etc.

I bought a PSX for GT1,2 and THPS1,2. Thats it.

Unfortunately I can't afford a PS2 right now, but when you spend like $2000 a year plus on your computer (My excuse is I'm a tech), I don't need ****ty console games.

SOF2, RTCW Multi, WarC3, Morrowind (oh my god is so good) etc, are far better than any crap that comes out on consoles. Plus most of these games come with free internet updates ,patches, nude women... oh sorry ahead of myself.

Anyway, I'm sure I've pissed off a heap of people already, so I'll shut up. But anyone who wants to ague which has better games, play Baldur's Gate 2 the whole way through, and then tell my consol games are better.

/End of rant

Cheers,

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
